Router Configuration Guide

If you are using network router to connect to Internet, you might need to configure your router to allow incoming network package to route to your desktop. Therefore your mobile phone can reach your desktop.

The example below considers a Linksys router, but that should work for any other manufacturers (e.g. D-Link, Netgear, etc.), please refer to your router manual for details.

Our Linksys router is the Wireless-G WRT54G. Other models might have a slightly different user interface but should be very similar.

1. Open a web browser window and type your Default Gateway IP number in the address bar. It should be 192.168.1.1 in most cases.
   
   
   
   
2. To login leave username blank and type admin for the password (unless you have changed it before, which is always advisable).
3. Find the section that says Port Range Forwarding or similar.
4. Add in the port range 8080-8080 for Connection Manager. See the following screen. 8080 is the default port used by Connection Manager. You can change this setting in Preference dialog (Connection Manager).
   
   
5. Make sure you check both protocol boxes TCP as well as the Enable setting.
6. Have the forward address set as your internal IP address 192.168.1.72 in our case. To find yours Go to Start -> Run and type in cmd.
   
   
   
   This will open a DOS window. Type the command IPCONFIG and look for your 'IP Address'.
   
   
7. Confirm and submit all the changes and that will probably work.
